A local zoo has been given an opportunity to bring in a new animal, but first they had to build it's habitat. 

Jay Pratte, Executive Director of the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington says last year they were approached about bringing in a Linne's Two-Toed Sloth named Taco. Pratte indicates that the new habitat was paid for through their three major fundraising events throughout the year. 

While sloths are slow and may seem uninteresting, they have so many cool facts about them. Pratte says Taco spends most of her time just "hanging around."

Visit Taco the Sloth at the Miller Park Zoo located at 1020 S Morris Avenue in Bloomington. Learn more by visiting mpzs.org or by finding them on Facebook.
